Perhaps not for you. But I have friends who work in the industry. It's not like other people don't know we are the lowest paid Airbus pilots in America. But, even if noone else knew, I also have a sense of worth given the lengths it has taken for me to get here. I know the value of the work I put in in the military and regionals and I know that I'm not being valued as I should be. As I mentioned, I anticipate better compensation. But until then, we are being undervalued and there really isn't any other way to describe it.
That's embarrasing. Both for me who is living through it daily AND for the company that continues to find new ways to insult me at the negotiating table. They don't care, because of course, they are making millions. But I do.
If you don't, cool. That's your opinion and I'll never criticize someone else who thinks differently. But, at the same time, I'm embarrased for you. To me, if you don't feel the slightest bit used then I don't really know what to say.
Again, I CHOSE to be here. I'm not whining. At the same time, I don't go around screaming to everyone I know that I work at Frontier...
That's just my $0.02.
